Super Junior member Choi Si-won, who recently starred in TV series "Oh! My Lady," has confessed that he had never dreamed of becoming a singer or an actor.

"It was not my dream to be a singer," the singer said during an appearance on KBS2 TV's celebrity talk show "Win Win," which aired Tuesday evening. "I just had the dream that I wanted to make my name known quickly and becoming a celebrity was the fastest way to do that, so I went to an entertainment agency."

Super Junior member Heechul has unveiled photos from a recent fashion spread that he shot with his bandmate Siwon on his official Twitter site (http://twitter.com/Heedictator/).

The singer posted up three pictures from his fashion shoot for the July issue of Singles magazine on his personal Twitter page yesterday.

For the pic in which the two pop idols are posing for the camera side by side, Heechul wrote, "Fashion spread with Siwon for the first time in a long while. Killer concept since we have completely different images."

Hundreds of fans have responded to the photo, making various comments such as "You both look so handsome" and "so cool." Many fans remarked that Heechul looks like he is "imitating L," a character from the hit Japanese horror flick "Death Note."

Another photo showed the two singers sitting across the table from each other, in what Heechul described as "the interrogation mode."

As one of the more versatile members of boy band Super Junior, Heechul has branched out to acting in dramas and appearing on numerous variety shows over the past several years. He recently joined the cast of celebrity variety show "Family Outing Season 2."

Super Junior is currently promoting their fourth full-length album "BONAMANA" as a ten-man band as members Kang-in, Kibum and Hangeng decided to take a break from group activities.

Sung Min-woo of "Oh! My Lady" is not just a pretty boy

 A look into Choi Si-won's character from TV series "Oh! My Lady"

 A scene from "Oh! My Lady" [SBS]

Sung Min-woo

His noticeable feature is his six-pack and his specialty is kissing. He stopped counting the number of girls he has gone out with after 30 and believes that all girls love him so if you merely glance at him he will say, "Bring a piece of paper, I'll give you my signature." He likes simple roles that extenuate his physical features and if he is told to practice he says, "I don't feel like it today" and if someone questions his acting skills he will get upset and impatiently state, "Let's not talk about the horrible acting." 

On the outside he claims that he likes the book "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho but he actually complains "Next time, pick an author with an easier name. Paulo Coelho, it's hard to pronounce." When he receives a scenario about Tae-jo, the first king of the Joseon Dynasty, Min-woo will throw facts he knows about the king that he knows from his shallow knowledge. But he is able to think fast on his feet when it comes to dealing with emergency situations such as covering up the burnt spot on his shirt by revealing his abs or kicking his manager out of the house that his hidden daughter is staying at by saying "I hate you because your feet smell."

If he gets ignored by another person, he insists, "You need a human being with fundamentals? Didn't you say you needed a star? What if you had to choose one? It's hard to find both qualities in a single person because everyone does what the star wants." And when you try to encourage him and tell him not to worry about failure, he will pretend to be strong by saying, "Did I ever say I was scared of doing it?" but such bluffing is done in style.

Choi Si-won's new TV series "Lady" already stirring China

Singer and actor Choi Si-won [SM Entertainment]

Super Junior member Choi Si-won's upcoming SBS TV series "Oh! My Lady" is already making waves in China, according to agency SM Entertainment on Wednesday.


SM explained in a press release that fans of Super Junior who recently showed up at the group's Asia tour concert held March 6 in Shanghai, showed their support by holding up signs that read "Oh! My Lady Smash Hit" and "Oh! My Sung Min-woo", referring to Choi's character in the drama.


Both the show and the singer reportedly became one of the most-searched words on several Chinese portals after Choi last week revealed his toned abs in the trailer for the series.


Starting March 22, the idol group member will play an arrogant, handsome movie star in the Monday and Tuesday evening drama opposite Korean actress and major Hallyu star Chae-lim.


Choi, 23, made his debut in the 13-member boy band Super Junior, one of the most popular K-pop acts in the country and throughout Asia. He is also part of the group's sub-unit Super Junior-M, which focuses its activities in the Chinese market.


The pop idol made his acting debut in the 2005 KBS TV series "Eighteen, Twenty-Nine" and has since starred in several television dramas and films including the 2006 action flick "A Battle of Wits" alongside top Hong Kong star Andy Lau.
